Description

I put a frame around this because I posted it first at a site with a black background. Wondering what it will like here with the white bg. Also seems that I have the shields mixed around. The Roman on the ground whould have the kneeling shield while the German/barbarian should have the round. Thanks to Professor Hopalong for that history lesson ;) This is what happens when you let artistic license take over :) Lol! I'm off to see Path to Terabithia with friends today. I'm hoping that it is a fun, fantasy get away for the afternoon. Enjoy your week ending!! Btw, this looks SO much better on a black background. ROME

I'm sure in the melee you end up picking up whatever shield is around. Superb concept and execution here, well done!

Great sense of movement. Well done. As for the shields, that depends on the date of your image. If this is the fall of Rome in the late 4th century then the Roman would look very different, probably clad all in chainmail with a large oval shield.

This does an excellent job of getting the feeling of the action across. Great posing of the figures, excellent details. Being something of a history buff, I admire the details in the armor and shields. I really like this one.

Are you sure it shouldn't be called, "The Triumph of the Barbarians?" grin. Historical accuracy can always be tricky in a picture. I remember having Normandy D-Day stripes painted on some fighter planes in the Pacific Theater. Sigh! Even when we try so hard, it happens. Still a fine picture.
